Re: [A/S] Blinds Blues(Winter Use)
I dry camp quite a few weekends during the winter in SW Wisconsin - usually
limit the stay to mid teens at night and higher. Basically dry camp, bring
my water with me, use a large bowl for dishes and washing. Use the black
water tank and toilet - the heat is turned on the entire time I am there and
usually supplement with either electric oil radiator or small electric heater
in bath during night and to add a little more heat in order not to chew up
the propane so fast. (Have two 45 lb tanks for propane.)
About an 1 to 2 hours prior to leaving I drain both tanks, (I include gray
water in case some water did get down the drain.), leave the values open for
about 1/2 hour then close them and add my antifreeze. I usually buy
antifreeze when on sale by the case.
In three years no problems.
